If The Fraport Skyliners had an Easter egg hunt which Skyliner would find the most eggs?

I think Marius Nolte would find the most because he knows the area best.

It took the Fraport Skyliners a few months to find their rhythm. What was the deciding factor in December 2011 that things turned around?

It took us a little longer to come together. We had lost some bitter close games, but in December we slowly came together got over the mountain and one can say better late than never.

The Fraport Skyliners are able to beat the top teams, but the lose to BG Goettingen. Why is the team so inconsistent at times?

That was a bitter loss that shouldn´t have happened. You can never underestimate their fight.
